This is to show how I would trade the stocks that are highlighted on the Stocks To Watch page, and the QQQ that tracks the nas.  You need to review the Trading Account Rules that I will be following for these trades.  

This list will show the most current at the top, and the oldest at the bottom.  And will begin on Mon 9 July 2001.

Jim.
